With a market cap of $119.4 billion, Constellation Energy Corporation (CEG) produces and sells electricity, natural gas, and a range of related and sustainable energy solutions. Operating in five regional segments: Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, New York, ERCOT, and other power regions, the company serves utilities, municipalities, cooperatives, and customers in the commercial, industrial, public sector, and residential markets.
Companies valued at $10 billion or more are generally considered “large-cap” stocks, and Bridge Energy fits that criteria perfectly. It has a generating capacity of about 31,676 MW from a diverse mix of nuclear, wind, solar, natural gas, and hydroelectric assets.
Shares of the Baltimore, Maryland-based company are down 20% from a 52-week high of $412.70. Over the past three months, the company’s shares have fallen 10.1%, lagging behind the broader S&P 500 Index ($SPX)’s slight increase during the same time frame.
CEG stock is down 7.4% on a YTD basis, outpacing the SPX’s slight decline. However, over the long term, the company’s shares are up 30.6% over the past 52 weeks, outpacing the SPX’s 14.9% return over the same time frame.
Still, the stock has been trading below its 200-day moving average since mid-January.
Shares of Constellation Energy rose 6.4% on February 24 after the company reported Q4 2025 results, including adjusted operating earnings of $2.30 per share and $9.39 per share for the full year, full-year results exceeding the midpoint of guidance for the fourth consecutive year. Investor sentiment was bolstered by the completed acquisition of Calpin Corporation, creating the nation’s largest power producer, with major growth drivers such as a $1 billion DOE loan guarantee to restart the Crane Clean Energy Center and long-term power contracts tied to data center demand.
In comparison, its rival, Southern Company ( SO ) is ahead of CEG stock on a YTD basis, with SO shares gaining 11.9%. However, SO stock is up 8.7% over the past year, lagging behind CEG stock.
Because of CEG stock’s outperformance over the SPX over the past year, analysts are strongly bullish, with a consensus rating of “Strong Buy” from 19 analysts. The average price target of $399.22 suggests a potential upside of 22.4% from current levels.
